I was happy about the wifi and the a/c. The location is on the edge of the center. They have a cute cat that hangs out in the lobby, which is a plus for me! I found the owner to be less than friendly though. He does have an agreement with a taxi company, which is great because a taxi... More

I was there in Winter and my room was comfortable, warm, and clean. It's in a good location and it's off a courtyard so there is parking and the rooms are quiet. The owner, Hans, is very helpful and speaks english well.

We`ve got only a room with shared bathroom. Although we were out of season in Catania (November), the B&B was fully booked. Hans the owner is really cozy & nice. Both - our room & the bathroom - were fine. Only one problem: one of the beds smelled badly, so that we had to share one bed. No idea what... More

We were very happy with our stay at Holland International - the owner was very helpful explaining where to get the bus to the airport and generally helping however he could, The room was very clean and a really nice size. Though right on Catania's main street the hostel is back from the road and very quiet. Would definitely recommend.

We''ve been lucky to find this place! It is just few minutes walking from the main historical city center and there is a free private parking (that s a great thing in a city!). From the outside it was a bit messy, even if I actually appreciated the tipical "dutch"entrance :D, but the inside is a step back to the... More

One of the many hotels located between the train / bus station and city centre. Unfortunately, the owners' friendliness & helpful nature did not fully compensate for the kitsch furnishings of both the guest room and common areas...this however, may be a matter of taste. Our room is best described as cheap and cheerful, complete with a fitted plastic-roofed bathroom.... More

The owner is very nice and helpful. While due to the volcanic ash, our schedule was delayed. They're very kind in changing our booking with prompt respond. It is located in the main street in Catania, easy to find. Rooms are decorated nicely, very clean, quiet, comfortable. Recommanded to stay and if we return to Catania someday, we will definitely...

The owner and his wife were very welcoming and helpful in providing information on Catania, surrounding sites and transport links. Our room was always clean, beautifully decorated with frescoes and a great sight at the end of a long day. The Holland is in a good spot for catching all forms of transport to other parts of the east coast.... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
The GuestHouse "Holland International" is situated in the 18th century palace "Guttadauro di Reburdone", in the heart of the historic centre of Catania. In this way it is located inside the cultural and artistic centre of the city, among monuments and baroque style palaces, modern and ancient theatres and, obviously, pubs, restaurants and pizzerias. But, in the same time, the architecture of the palace offers a quiet environment and its position makes locations outside the city centre easy to reach by public transport. Catania is in fact an ideal city to plan excursions around the Etna volcano, and to reach touristic locations like Taormina and Siracusa.The ample and sunny rooms available are mostly decorated with original frescoes. The rooms are equipped with heating, air conditioning, satellite TV, Internet Wi Fi and tea-coffee making facilities. You can choose between rooms ensuite or rooms with a shared bathroom (shared exclusively between 2 rooms). The palace faces the sea, so some rooms have a pleasant view of Ionian Sea while others benefit from the peace of the large internal courtyard. Car parking is available at no cost. ... more   less
